My Velocity blog on how a ride in a cobra changed my life

[brandx]

I saw my first cobra in 1967 at an autocross event in the parking lot of the local shopping center. It was a 289 slabside. I didn,t know exactly what it was until I saw an article in a car magazine. Always wanted one but no money. Got a 67 gt500 wnen I was 19. Finally got my cobra 35 years later. That was 2 years ago. Was most likley better off that way. I might not have survived a cobra any sooner in life.

Well said. What was the percentage of Cobra owners that didn't make their second payment?

A 67 GT500 at the age of 19 must have made it difficult to stay on the right side of the law.

great stories, keep 'em coming.
